All of the previous answers to this question make one flawed assumption...that the weight of the pennies in question are measured in terms of the Earth's gravitational field. Any item's weight is a direct correlation of its mass times the Newtonian gravitational constant; in this case, 1g. The same pennies measured on, say, the moon would weigh their mass times 0.167g. Near the event horizon of a black hole, the weight would appear infinite.
